(Music : Schaffer, Shawver, Abell / Lyrics : Schaffer)
Raging fire surrounds me
The embers seems to glow
Woman, man & serpent
Temptation fills her soul
Initiate the beginning
Of the end of paradise
Feel the flames engulf us
And breath a final sigh
Take the fruit
Let wisdom fill your soul
See the things I see
Know the things I know
The jungle is burning
With ambition so strong
To unleash my retribution
To heed the final call
I shall be wise
Burning eden
Burning eden
Burning eden
Burning eden
There№s no way out now
No turning back
To gain infernal wisdom
No turning back
Priests of the fire release thee
For thine inbred vengeance
The burning oasis has beckoned us all
Priests of the fire release thee
For thine inbred vengeance
The burning oasis has beckoned us all

This is about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis. He tempted them to eat the forbidden fruit so they may know what God knows. When they ate it, the first sin of human was committed. They lost their place in Eden and would now not live eternally. Man would have to work in the field for the rest of his life instead of the plants and animals tending to themselves. Woman will suffer through birth.
